I'm not normally intrigued by waiver wire fluff, but i like this one.

It could definitely be a good pickup but I am also very interested to see how Breen does in filling that role that you picture Urbom in.
Smith going onto waivers was a signal that Breen is going to get an honest look at the 6/7 spot. If Breen is successful he could not only displace Smith but also push Butler up to the pressbox.
I know CP in general doesn't like Butler but he may be a better #7 guy to have on hand to fill in for injuries instead of having to rely upon SOB, Breen or Urbom in the top 4.
It would be pretty funny to grab Urbom and then draft Ekblad. Add those guys in with Kanzig and Breen and we have 4 guys where the smallest one is 6'5" and 220.
